SETTINGS

Here all the user specific settings can be entered including nickname, proxy and a list of available TAX REFERENCEs.

The login names assigned by HMRC are often rather long and cryptic making entering them unnecesarily difficult. To alleviate this pain, custom nicknames may be introduced. When logging into FBI, nicknames act as user-friendly substitutes for the cryptic (HMRC-supplied) login names.

Organisational security policies may limit direct internet access, and often mandates a Proxy Server. Where such a Proxy Server is in place, it must be identified to FBI by providing the following set of properties known to your network administrator:

hostname	a mandatory property in a form of a DNS(computer) name or an IP address
port	a mandatory property in a form of an integral number
username	an optional property
password	an optional property used in conjuction with username

There is a table listing all known TAX REFERENCEs. Each such TAX REFERENCE must be accompanied by Payroll Server settings, to which associated messages are routed.
